Most importantly, lots of thanks to everyone who came out to yesterday’s show! You were a great crowd, I had so much fun.

And… STWPT RINGTONES for some of the most popular songs are available. Any suggestions for other songs that should be made into ringtones? I have space for a few more.

And… At long last, I’ve put the track listings up for my CDs - so you know which songs you’re buying now…

And… PACKAGED SONG DOWNLOADS are here! Each one gives you little over half an hour of STWPT tunes for 7.99.

Finally, check out CBC Radio One this Saturday (May 17) at 1pm ’cause Definitely Not The Opera is doing a little segment on Songs To Wear Pants To. You can listen online too. Awesome!

Randy and Jim asked me to do this arrangement of a song which they wrote.

Jim’s original version:

In 2006, Utada Hikaru released an album called Ultra Blue.

What I want is an English version of this song. I started writing lyrics in my spare time. It’s taken me a long time as I’ve been busy with classes and am a bit of a perfectionist, but I’m thus far pleased with what I have.

Places I’m used to being, people I’m used to seeing
Recently all seem to speak of the tragedies,
Of places far across the seas
I want to feel safe again in the night,
Soft music and sleep without fright
No matter how painful the time, why do I sing? (Who knows)
I don’t want to love again, why do I keep trying? (Darling, darling, ah)
I don’t hear a thing no matter what you say or do
I am blinded without a clue
I just tried, I just tried turning BLUE
I am only human
Complimented by this color
Day and day growing number
I think I’m getting older
I remember the sadness of your frown
Those spinning lights
I want to believe once again you’ll be around
The light is bound to reach you
Even on nights so freezing, who is the one singing? (Who?)
From sheets of music thrown askew
The notes, their tune inked in BLUE
I remember the sadness of your frown
Those spinning lights
I want to believe once again you’ll be around
The light is bound to reach you
Oh, no matter how painfully my life, why do I live? (Who knows?)
I just want a normal life, fame is overexaggerated.
Darling darling, ah, questions make me BLUE.
Darling darling, ah,
Tell me something good
Or let me feel your warmth one more time,
You have no idea the mountain I’d climb
Oh, no matter how long the night, day should break right?
Just like the stories from when we were children?
And though I don’t can’t hear a thing at all,
I know this storm will soon end
And though the future is cloudy
We can always keep on hoping
Why can’t you understand this? And why do I care about it? (Who knows)
I don’t want to love again, why do I keep trying? (Darling, darling, ah)
I don’t hear a thing no matter what you say or do
I am blinded without a clue
I just tried, I just tried turning BLUE

Enjoy two new songs: I AM AN EDUCATED FISH - which doesn’t really have lyrics, since they were all made up on the spot - and G. Along with O, this is making me think I should do a complete set of songs for the alphabet. I’ll have to check through the big pile of unread requests and see if there’s anything letter-related in there.

There have been some complaints about not all the songs being free to download anymore - for those who care to read I am happy to explain…

I’ve been giving away hundreds of original songs for free, and after nearly four years and literally millions of downloads, I have no shame about starting to collect some money on them. All the songs can still be streamed and heard from the website, and over a hundred are still free to download. My fiancée and I are saving to have a wedding and a family and a life together. Paid and free downloads are both here to stay!

Anyway, in the name of sharing, every song I post will be free to download for its first week online.

Thanks for understanding about this. Even if you don’t like the idea of paying to download these songs, I hope you’ll keep coming back to listen.

Love,
-Andrew
